About the Item

A set of four Scandinavian Modern candlesticks designed by the Swedish silversmith Pierre Forssell and produced by Skultuna Messingsbruk. Minimalist aesthetic with a dramatic appearance.

He was active as a designer at Skultuna between 1955 and 1986 with the mission to renew the product range.
